I don’t know why people claim they skipped 9. Clearly they version in octal.
P.S. It’s not a mistake, it’s a put down.
If we can use a smartphone as a PC then we don’t need a PC anymore, do we?
No PC, but spend lots of $$ on docking stations, monitors and a custom mouse ;)
Windows 10 news for Ping list?
They skipped 9 because of Windows 95 and 98 and a lot of code that simply used Win 9- for commands and stuff.
That’s what “they” say anyways
It’s a Raspberry Pi Phone?
He uses the word ‘Awesome’ pretty loosely.
Make everything obsolete so everyone can start buying software all over again. In the meanwhile, Microsoft are making mega backs and the consumer gets poorer.
No, but if you’re going to rudely play games or surf while at dinner with someone, it’s more awesome if you slap a whole PC on the table and block yourself off from people.
Well, if you don’t need to do anything that requires more memory or processing power than a smartphone has, you might be able to get away with that.
Well, there is this little thing called backwards compatibility...

The writer has some growing up to do. He’s using teenager’s words.

I still prefer to use the mouse and the bigger screen for development and office work.
Say what you will, but I will probably *never* get used to using a soft-keyboard on a mobile device.
The vast collection of websites with people screwing-up messages (AutoCorrect, Windows devices notwithstanding) bears me out.
Also, it just doesn’t feel right, what with the lack of physical keys, &c.
Some vendors had used a wildcard test (e.g. "9*") if they only needed to determine if it was 95/98. Any 9.x version would have returned True on that test.
Depends on what we're trying to do, doesn't it? Some things we do require a full-power processor and terabytes of storage.
I'm have trouble with any discussion of a new version of Windows that uses the word "reliable" in the same sentence :)
I'm no Apple lover, but this spells it out pretty well:
